"Queen Boadicea" - J. Thomas, sculptor - from the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1856. Sculpture of Boudicca, queen of the ancient British Iceni tribe. Mr. John Thomas, another English sculptor, in whom we note a marked improvement from year to year...[contributes] "Queen Boadicea inciting the Britons to avenge the loss of their liberty, and the wrongs inflicted upon her children and herself". "It was much better (said the Queen of the Iceni) to fall honourably in defence of liberty than be again exposed to the outrages of the Romans". There is the heroic dignity of woman in Mr. Thomas's "Boadicea". Boudicca led an uprising against the conquering forces of the Roman Empire in AD 60 or 61, and is considered a British national heroine, and a symbol of the struggle for justice and independence. From "Illustrated London News", 1856
